Abstract
This article reflects the result of a research that addresses the issue of projects for youth life, from which the elements that address young people as fundamental for the construction of their life projects are extracted. Starting from there, the implications that cultural change and modernization processes create in the references that young people have to imagine their future are addressed, which, from the perspective of radical secularization, suggests deep challenges for those interested in youth reality, because it highlights the paths of life as an opportunity for young people to have a close reference at the time of projecting their lives and as a way to interpret their realities.
